During my junior year of high school, I had no clue what career path to pursue. That changed when one of my teachers, who always loved my sketches on assignments, told my dad I should consider design. So, I visited a design museum, took a few classes, and have been completely hooked on the discipline ever since. I got my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design, but over the last 7 years, I've worked across the whole product development spectrum.

I have created functional and aesthetic prototypes needed to test and validate next-gen spatial interaction technology, 3D printed full-scale vehicle prototype parts, shaped user experiences and interfaces in educational games and AR mobile apps, and operated digital fabrication machinery in product development labs. Because of my experience, I had a bit of an identity crisis for a minute, but I've come to learn I'm just someone who likes to make stuff. =)
